UMPC: Elonex UPDATE: specification

Elonex has announced the specifications of ONE. Here an image from their site with all details (click to enlarge):

As you can see, the parameters of the Elonex One are not very different from the Asus EEE.
Now there is a gallery online and a summary of the software, which is shipped with it...

UMPC: Elonex ONE

There is another new competitor for Asus' EEE. A british company named Elonex announced a umpc for less than 130 Euro (without tax). Here the link to the homepage of the Elonex ONE.
The laptop should contain

integrated WiFi, flash-based memory (undisclosed amount), "tough" outer shell, a wireless music server, and a three-hour battery life.

(cited from http://www.mobilemag.com) and it should run on Linux. Further details will be provided on the Education Show 2008 at 28th february:

So here a short summary of all the UMPCs described further on this blog:

Noahpad (touchpad, no keyboard)
Belinea s.book 1 (touchscreen)
FIC CE260 (integrated bluetooth phone)
Asus EEE ....

UMPC: Noahpad

There is another competitor for the EEE from Asus and the others.
Take a look at this picture from their website.

Noahpad announced that the price should be around the EEE.
In comparison to the EEE this noahpad can quote some nice features:

Noahpad Touchpad (Noahpad PC clickable touchpad can act as both a keyboard and a cursor controller)
Virtual Screen
Fully Rotatable Screen

UPDATE:
Take a look at a demo on youtube.

UMPC: Belinea s.book 1

Belinea announced its umpc s.book 1. Is this a real competitor to the ASUS EEE?
But its price is 800 Euros... (ok this is not fair, because you get 1GB RAM and a 80 GB HDD).
Really cool is the following thing:

Touch-Screen

Perhaps it has some built-in enhancements like the iPhone or iPod touch (look here)
It is amazing that this s.book 1 looks like the FIC CE260 (take a look at this blog entry).

UMPC: FIC CE260

After ASUS announced the EEE for 299$, FIC will lower their price for the UMPC CE260.

You can buy this with an extent module, which is placed onto the right corner of the display...
The following modules are available:

Calendar and Clock or Skype and Bluetooth Phone; Option: TV Tuner or GPS Module

But there is no built-in webcam ;-(

EEE or CE260? Both are available with LINUX!
Let's wait for the first tests...

UMPC: Asus EEE

Asus announced a UMPC. This headline is nothing special but:
They will sell it at 199$ (the small modell).

At this time there is only little information. One at this location:
